    <abstract locale="en_US">&#xA0;As a pediatric surgeon, I have read your case titled "Giant megacolon caused by anterior displacement of the anus in a 71-Year-old woman" (1) with great interest. I would like to extend my congratulations to the authors and editors for this successful article and offer some contributions. There is limited information in the literature about the long-term follow-up of patients with an anteriorly located anus. This case appears to be the oldest patient in the literature to be diagnosed with this anomaly and to have had the longest follow-up. In this respect, the case holds significant value.</abstract>
